Love Is My Favorite Flavor: A Midwestern Dining Critic Tells All

Love Is My Favorite Flavor: A Midwestern Dining Critic Tells All

By Wini Moranville

In a remarkable career that has spanned nearly fifty years--from waiting tables to wine writer to dining critic--Wini Moranville has witnessed the American restaurant landscape transform from the inside out. Love Is My Favorite Flavor serves as a kind of food and dining history of the past forty-plus years and underscores the timelessness of what it is we seek when we entrust restaurateurs with our hard-earned money and our hard-won leisure time.

Full Description

In a remarkable career that has spanned nearly fifty years, Wini Moranville has witnessed the American restaurant landscape transform from the inside out. At just shy of fourteen, she began a ten-year stretch working in a kaleidoscope of quintessential midwestern eateries of the time. Moranville's hands-on experiences weave a vivid tapestry of the American restaurant landscape in the 1970s and 1980s. In the mid-1990s, the tables turned as Moranville became a prolific food and wine writer for national publications, as well as the dining critic for the Des Moines Register and dsm Magazine.
Amidst the vast changes that have occurred over the years, Love Is My Favorite Flavor underscores the timelessness of what it is we seek when we entrust restaurateurs with our hard-earned money and our hard-won leisure time. Dining out may have changed dramatically since the 1970s, but the joys of being in the hands of people who care deeply about our time at their tables have not.
